In 2013, General Secretary Xi Jinping proposed a major initiative to jointly build the "Belt and Road". Today, the high-quality joint construction of the "Belt and Road" not only opens up a path of opportunity for all countries to lead to common prosperity, but also opens up a path for China's open development. Xintiandi, an increasing number of inland provinces that do not rely on borders or seas, are turning from the tip of opening up to the forefront of opening up.

  At Xi'an International Port Station, eight gantry cranes are hoisting containers from all over the world at the same time.

Every day, there are more than ten China-Europe freight trains "Chang'an" departing and arriving from here, connecting more than 20 cities inside and outside the province and 45 countries and regions along the "Belt and Road".

  Li Pei, the on-duty station manager of Xi'an International Port Station: You see this box is from Germany. In the current international port, you can see that there are so many containers in the cargo yard. They are of various colors and colors. They come from all over the world to the international port.

  Li Pei told reporters that this was ten years ago, and I couldn't even think about it. At that time, it was still a small fourth-class station called Xinzhu, and there were only 5 freight lines leading to and outside the province. Called the "rectum" station.

  The turnaround came in 2013.

On September 7 of this year, President Xi Jinping proposed the joint construction of the "Silk Road Economic Belt" initiative in Kazakhstan.

On October 3, President Xi Jinping proposed in Indonesia the initiative to jointly build the 21st Century "Maritime Silk Road", which together constitute a major initiative of the "Belt and Road".

This is a major strategic decision made by General Secretary Xi Jinping, focusing on the general trend of the times, coordinating both domestic and international situations, basing on the present and planning for the long-term.

  During his inspection and investigation in inland provinces, General Secretary Xi Jinping repeatedly emphasized that inland provinces should actively participate in the joint construction of the "Belt and Road", better transform their unique location advantages into open development advantages, and promote reform and development through opening up.

  From speeding up the construction of inland opening channels, to building a high-level inland opening platform, to building an inland highland for reform and opening up, a series of important instructions from General Secretary Xi Jinping has brought the inland provinces that are not bordered or not dependent on the sea to usher in the Great opportunity for development.

  Today, Xinzhu Station has increased to 53 lines, and its coverage has gradually extended from the original Central Asian countries to the hinterland of Europe such as Russia, Hungary, and Germany. International logistics hub center station.

In 2021, Shaanxi's total imports and exports to the "Belt and Road" reached 81.023 billion yuan, four times that of 2013.

  Not only in Shaanxi, but also in Henan, three Silk Roads, land, air and online, have been built, connecting 196 countries and regions, and weaving a "cloud network" linking the world's major economies. The e-commerce transaction volume exceeded 200 billion yuan.

  In Chongqing, three major international trade and logistics channels have set up interconnection bridges, with nearly 40 China-Europe train lines, radiating 59 domestic railway stations and 29 ports, and reaching nearly 100 cities in Asia and Europe.

  In Anhui, the "single window" of international trade and the integration of customs clearance are fully implemented. In 2021, Anhui's imports and exports will reach the level of US$100 billion for the first time, with an average annual growth rate of 11.8% in the past ten years, ranking first in the Yangtze River Delta.

  In the past ten years, there have been 44,559 China-Europe trains operating in the central and western regions, accounting for 75% of the country's total, connecting 24 European countries.

In the past ten years, more than 130 new routes have been opened to countries along the “Belt and Road”, accounting for more than 60% of the newly opened international routes. The international hub function of airports in key cities in the central and western regions has been further improved.

  In 2021, the total foreign trade volume of the central and western regions will be 2.5 times that of a decade ago, and the proportion of the whole country will increase from 12% in 2013 to 17.7%.

Among them, the average annual growth rate of export-oriented industries in cities such as Zhengzhou and Chongqing has reached about 30%.

  In the past ten years, my country's free trade zones have rapidly covered inland provinces. Among the 21 free trade zones that have been approved, more than one third are from inland provinces.

  Today, the inland provinces that are not bordered by the sea and do not rely on the sea are becoming a new highland for my country's high-level opening to the outside world, injecting strong impetus into high-quality development.
